Today, a dishwasher is one of the devices many people can't imagine their kitchen without, offering the luxury of time savings. However, it can often be a source of frustration when dishes come out still dirty. The appliance expert shared a tip on TikTok that promises to help people use the device correctly.
An employee from a home appliance store explained in a video posted online how we should correctly use a dishwasher. Those who have been diligently rinsing food scraps off their dishes before loading them into the machine might be disappointed. According to the expert, thoroughly rinsing plates is not recommended. Why?
He explained that leaving some food particles on the dishes allows the cleaning agent to work more effectively, resulting in cleaner dishes.
You just need to scrape off the chunks and leave some food particles, and the detergent will work better
- he explained.
The expert's advice not to rinse dishes thoroughly before loading them into the dishwasher received mixed reactions from internet users. Some disagreed, calling it simply a sales tactic. Others tried the method and found that leaving food on the plates had the opposite effect - the dishes came out covered in dried-on residue. If you want, you can vote in our poll below.
We tried this when we bought a new dishwasher. It didn’t work, and the high temperature made the food stick even more.
How do I keep my dishwasher from smelling like rotting food? Because if I don’t rinse the dishes, my dishwasher smells like it's dying.
Not true. They have to soak in the sink for three days.
Sounds like something an appliance salesman would say to keep sales going.
